Today is the day of preparation for Passover
Truth is,
our lives are continual preparation
Leaving slavery behind
crossing over to freedom
as the Bride
Preparation can be hard work
when done as a slave
but joyful when done as The Bride
Crossing over can be fearful
leaving the known behind
unless our gaze is on the Groom*
Let’s put off the old
with its false hopes and lies
to embrace the new
with its never-ending hope
and eternally reliable promises
*Hebrews 12:2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
